Även om Sverige anses vara ett av världens mest jämställda länder så anmäls hundratals fall av misstänkt könsdiskriminering varje år. Det svenska rättighetsskyddet utgörs till stor del av Europeiska Unionens bestämmelser som omvandlats till svensk lag som myndigheter och domstolar behöver följa. Risken finns att gravida kvinnor diskrimineras på arbetsmarknaden och därför är syftet med uppsatsen at
The purpose of this thesis is to describe and analyse the problems surrounding the conflict between fundamental rights and common market freedoms, as they appear in the Laval and Viking judgements. The overall question that this work intends to answer is when a collective action undertaken by trade unions of a Member State for curbing the freedom of an undertaking to enter the market of another Me
I Sudan och många andra delar av Afrika är biomassa den huvudsakliga energikällan. Ved används för att göra upp eld till matlagning och uppvärmning av hus och mycket biomassa går också åt till att bygga hus, staket, verktyg och annat. Bönderna på den sudanesiska landsbygden är väl medvetna om att Acacia-träden som växer och förökar sig naturligt på deras marker hjälper till att öka bördigheten ochIn rural Sudan, as in many parts of Africa, biomass is the most important source of energy. Besides the use as fuelwood for cooking and heating of houses, biomass is also used for construction of houses and fences amongst other things. Among farmers in semiarid Sudan it’s a known fact that the Acacia trees that grow and regenerate naturally on their lands help improve soil fertility and crop yield
The public library is an institution with multiple tasks and with different parts to play in the society. The aim of this Master’s essay is to illustrate one of the many activities that libraries utilise to reach their users and to keep up with the modern society - film screening. We have studied the phenomenon mainly through case studies at four different public libraries in the Region of Skåne i
If you live in Sweden (and I guess you do), there is a two in three chance that youhave shopped online at least once in the last month. You may also know that inSweden on average, each of us spends over 3000 SEK per month buying goods andservices online. It is expected that over 2 billion people will be shopping online bythe year 2020, thus generating a global revenue of 4.1 trillion USD. One imag
Context: Open tools (e.g., Jenkins, Gerrit and Git) offer a lucrative alternative to commercial tools. Many companies and developers from OSS communities make a collaborative effort to improve the tools. Prior to this study, we developed an empirically based theory for companies’ strategic choices on the development of these tools, based on empirical observations in the telecom domain. Aim: The ai
Purpose: According to guideline recommendations, chest compressions (CC) during cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) should be performed at a rate of 100 - 120 per minute, with a CC fraction (CCF) of ≥80%. The aim of this work is to explore whether CC quality differs between advanced life support (ALS) and basic life support (BLS) performed by two rescuers. Method: Cardiopulmonary resuscitation was
Background: Endovascular thrombectomy (EVT) for ischemic stroke (IS) beyond 6 hours has been proven effective in randomized controlled trials. We present data on implementation and outcomes for EVT beyond 6 hours in Sweden. Methods: We included all cases of anterior circulation IS caused by occlusion of the intracranial carotid artery, and the M1 or M2 segment of the middle cerebral artery, regist
Objectives: Reproductive history of women is of importance to estimate cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk. One aspect of that history is the reproductive life span (RLS), the period between onset of menarche and menopause. Previous studies have indicated an increased risk associated with shorter RLS, but this has never previously been tested in Scandinavian women. Our aim was to investigate such as
This thesis is focused on cardiovascular disease (CVD) and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2D), two concomitant conditions that appear with growing concern. In our work, we aim to improve the identification of individuals at-risk of cardiometabolic disease through the characterization of complex environmental exposures (i.e. diet, physical activity), that temporally vary, and the health effects on card
BACKGROUND: Children with cerebral palsy (CP) form a heterogeneous group and may have risk or protective factors for fractures compared with typically developing children. The fracture sites may also differ from those of children who do not have CP. We analyzed the fracture epidemiology in a total population of children with CP.METHODS: This was a retrospective registry study based on data from th
Tundra soils account for 50% of global stocks of soil organic carbon (SOC), and it is expected that the amplified climate warming in high latitude could cause loss of this SOC through decomposition. Decomposed SOC could become hydrologically accessible, which increase downstream dissolved organic carbon (DOC) export and subsequent carbon release to the atmosphere, constituting a positive feedback
Background: As a renewable energy solution, photovoltaics (PVs) are crucial in the transition to a more sustainable energy system. Besides large PV installations, household adoption of PVs will be an important contribution to this transition. However, the adoption of PVs on a household level faces many barriers, with gathering and understanding information being one of the major barriers. The aim
Background: Physical activity is one of the best documented activities with impacts on health in children and adults. Children born preterm show reduced physical and psychosocial function compared to children born at term. This may influence their level of physical activity. Reports on moderately preterm children's physical activities during childhood are limited. Thus, the aim of this study was t
The optimisation of occupational radiological protection is challenging and a variety of factors have to be considered. Physicians performing image-guided interventions are working in an environment with one of the highest radiation risk levels in healthcare. Appropriate knowledge about the radiation environment is a prerequisite for conducting the optimisation process. Information about the dose
Proteins interact with their aqueous surroundings, thereby modifying the physical properties of the solvent. The extent of this perturbation has been investigated by numerous methods in the past half-century, but a consensus has still not emerged regarding the spatial range of the perturbation. To a large extent, the disparate views found in the current literature can be traced to the lack of a ri
Today, atomic layer deposition (ALD) has become a firm corner stone of thin film deposition technology. The microelectronics industry, an early adopter of ALD, imposes stringent requirements on ALD to produce films with highly defined physical and chemical properties, which becomes even more important as device and component dimensions decrease. This, in turn, means that our understanding of the c
